ANVIL ATTACHMENT.

Application filed September 19, 1914. Serial No. 862,548.

blacksmiths anvils and the primary object of the invention is theprovision of an attachment for an ordinary anvil which will hold, to oneside of the anvil, a hardy, fullering tool or other analogous toolwhereby the tool may be easily drawn over upon the top of the anvil whenit is desired to use the same.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a tool-supportingarm which is adjustable along the length of the anvil, and

also which is adjustable intermediate of its ends for increasing ordecreasing the length of the same for accommodation to anvils of varioussizes.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, this invention consists insuch novel features of construction, combination and arrangement ofparts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings and claimed.

In'describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters designate like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of an anvil of the ordinary type showingthe improved fullering too]. or hardy attached thereto, and Fig. 2 is across sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates-an anvilof the ordinary type which has a working face 2 and the supporting shank3 which is connected to the base 4 0f the anvil and the body 5. Theshank 3 of the anvil has a rod clamped thereupon, which rod extendsabout the four sides of the anvil shank and is clamped thereon in anysuitable manner such as by a turn buckle 11. The side 12 of the rod 10is spaced from the side of the shank 3 and it has a' collar 13 slidablymounted thereupon, and held in adjusted position by means of athumbscrew 141-, which extends through the collar and engages the side12 of the rod. The collar 13 has an arm 15 formed integrally therewithand extending upwardly therefrom, which arm is connected to a rod 16 bya turn buckle 17, so that the length of the arm 15 and the rod 16combined may be varied to suit the height of the different sized anvils.The rod 16 is arcuate so that it will curve over toward the working face2 of an anvil for permitting the flattened end 17 thereof to lie infacial abutment with the working face of the anvil as is clearly shownin Fig. 2 of the drawings.

The flattened end 17 of the rod 16 has a hardy 18 secured thereto,whereby when the end 17 lies upon the working face of the anvil thehardy 18 will be positioned for use.

The collar 13 is rotatably mounted upon the side 12 of the rod 10, sothat the arm 15 and the rod 16 may be swung outwardly to the positionillustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 2 of the drawings, for moving thehardy out of the way of the blacksmith working upon the anvil.

When it is desired to use the hardy or other tool which is carried bythe rod 16, an ordinary blacksmiths hammer or any other suitable devicemay be used for engaging the hardy and pushing it forwardly by means ofthe swinging movement of.the arm 15 and the rod 16, so that it will bepositioned upon the upper working face of the anvil. When it is desiredto move the hardy out of the way, so as to permit of unimpeded work uponthe anvil face, the same may be merely shoved outwardly from the side ofthe anvil.

In reducing the invention to practice certain minor features ofconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts may necessitatealterations to which the patentee is entitled provided such alterationsare comprehended within the scope of what is claimed.

What is claimed is:

1. The combination with an ordinary blacksmiths anvil, of a rod for firmbinding engagement about the anvil supporting shank, one side of saidrod being spaced from one side of said anvil, a collar mounted upon saidspaced side, an arm formed integral with said collar and extendingupwardly therefrom, a rod adjustably connected to said arm, and a hardycarried by the upper end of said rod for movement to or from said anvilfor resting upon the same.

shank and a Working face,0f a rodeXteiid ing about and held in firmbinding engagement with said supporting shank, one side of said rodbeing spaced from the corresponding side of the anvil shank, a collarrotatably and slidably mounted'upon said spaced side, means for holdingsaid collar against slidable movement, an arm formed integral With saidcollar and extending upwardly therefrom, a rod adjustablyconnecttheworkin'g face of saidanvil, and a hardy carried by saidflattened end.

rn testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of Witnesses.
